Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 652/12,5072/877
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 652,5072
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 652,5072 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,877 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,877 is 10524 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 652,5072
2 | 652, 5072 |
2 | 326, 2536 |
163, 1268 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 5072
List of positive integer factors of 5072 that divides 5072 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,317,634,1268,2536,5072
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 652,5072 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 652,5072 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,877
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/10524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 652/12,5072/877 is 4/10524
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 12,877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,877) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,877) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,877) = ( 12 × 877 ) / 1
LCM(12,877) = 10524 / 1
LCM(12,877) = 10524
